Crawler connection
Once you have fitted the crawler with the cameras, wheels and other accessories, you can connect it to the cable
drum.
Connect the crawler cable termination to the terminal on the back of the crawler’s body; use a 3mm Allen key to tighten
the cable termination’s C-clamp.

Cable strain relief and spring guard (old style products)
Older products features a strain relief assembly and a stainless steel spring guard at the cable end.
Figure 2.15 illustrates the strain relief clamp and spring guard.
Ensure that there is sufficient slack on the cable when the lanyards are taut.
Ensure the D-shackle retention pin’s heads are pointing upwards.
CAUTION: Never use the system without the strain relief properly assembled. Failure will damage the termination
and may result in the crawler being disconnected from the cable

The metal lanyards are about 45cm in
length, allow an additional 5-10cm of slack
cable to ensure function.
